hi
can you guys tell me if for music production (home mastering and VST and FL Studio use)
is it worth to buy samsung 970 evo 1TB NVMe as system drive or is better stay with samsung 860 pro 1TB SSD or should i use just SSHD seagate firecuda hybrid drive with 8Gb flash and size 2TB
(i will have additional 3 HDD in system as well as storage)
price as follows - nvme about £200, ssd about £150, sshd £90
interested mainly for longevity, perfomance wise as well, reliability so i do not have to change it next 5 years.
thanks

Go for SSD!
The 860 PRO has endurance of 1200 TBW and the 970 EVO 600 TBW.
The 970 EVO it is much faster, but you probably will not perceive much
difference, else if you deal with very BIG files.
Anyway, both will last more than 5 years.

I say go for NVMe! I have both 960 Pros and an 970 EVO in my system and the NVMe is gazillion* times faster. You WILL notice the difference!
Disclaimer: Might not be gazillion. 7 times faster is more accurate.

Hehe, yeah - my new system has SSD for system and NVMe for samples - it's so much faster loading up my 32Gb of drum kits. Of course, now I'm used to it, I still want it to be faster!! (I should have bought more than 32Gb of RAM so it wouldn't swap... so much...)
